How do I get my film into the open screening?
Be on time at the next screening and bring your film with you. No pre-registration needed! Please be advised that your film may be stopped if the majority of the audience pulls the red card. Your film has to be extremely boring or offending to get to the point of a red card – which is rather uncommon. Principally, there will be a short interview with the film maker after each screening, so you get the chance to explain your film and receive feedback from the audience.

What time will my film be played?
We play the films in the same order you submit them. Entrance & registration usually begins at 7.30pm. the screening starts at 8.30pm. (Find the upcoming dates here). The later you sumbit your movie, the later it will be shown. So we recommend to arrive in time if you don´t want to have your movie shown late after midnight when most of the audience has already left.

What happens to my film after the screening? Will it be published online or screened somewhere else?
We will neither publish or pass on your film to anybody else, nor will we copy or show it to third parties. But we will publish details of your film (film title, brief description, name of the film maker, duration, year of production, contact) on our website. The audience then has the opportunity to get in contact with you via your entry on our website. If your film is already present on Youtube or Vimeo, we can additionally embed it into your entry. You can pick up your data media after the screening.

Which formats can I submit?
Best is a common movie file (e.g. mp4, mov, avi) on a USB drive, CD or DVD or Blu-Ray. Your filename should match your film title. Please make sure your digital media hardware contains only the file you are submitting. Apart from that we can also play VHS.

What’s the maximum duration for my film?
Your film shouldn’t be longer than 25 minutes.
